Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Sink repair in Treleigh, done in place

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Treleigh, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Treleigh

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Treleigh

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
